Abstract:
New additions to the benthic marine flora of the Northeastern on the
coast of the Brazilian Northeast. This study reports the occurrence of two red algae,
Polysiphonia decussata Hollenb. and Wrangelia penicillata (C.Agardh) C.Agardh, and a
green alga, Derbesia tenuissima (Moris & De Not.) P.Crouan & H.Crouan for the northeastern
coast of Brazil, the latter isolated from the cultivation in the laboratory. The materials were
obtained from bimonthly collections in the intertidal zone of Bimbarras Island, Todos os
Santos Bay, Bahia, between September 2008 and September 2012. Despite the records of
these taxa for the Southeast and South of Brazil, they are rarely collected on the Brazilian
coast. This study extends the northern limit of geographical distribution of these species on
the coast of Brazil. Descriptions, illustrations, and comparisons to related taxa are presented.
